New from Lori Goldson, the author of the four-star rated novel Irene in College: The Life &
Times Series, book 1, comes the new-adult fiction novel The Adulthood:
The Life & Times Series, book 2, the follow-up sequel to last year’s
debut.

With her degree in hand and college campus in her rear view mirror, 22-year-old Irene Jimenez is ready
to grapple with her newest adversary, adulthood. With the help of a family
friend, Irene quickly lands a job where she meets her new boss, the brilliant,
charismatic, and virile Justin. Fear-stricken and paralyzed at the idea of
being on her own for the first time in life, Justin’s guidance in the workplace
leaves Irene intrigued to get better acquainted with her new boss, despite her
current relationship situation with her live-in boyfriend, Artie. Justin
notices Irene’s inquisition, and admits his curiosity about her as well, despite
his own set of personal and professional obligations.

Enjoying her work and
curious about her boss, Irene finds herself losing sight of the objective, and
turns to her longtime friend, Michaela, who is entrenched in her own adulthood
obstacles with her girlfriend, Ryan, including a domestic dispute that pushes
Irene even closer to her boss in ways that leave her boyfriend, Artie, jealous.
Irene and Michaela are equally trapped in wading the waters of adulthood as
they try to balance their actual jobs with their romantic desires and fears
contained. Irene finds herself struggling, however, with balancing work and
pleasure with Justin as her boss, and is soon placed in a new work environment
where an old adversary becomes a new supervisor, and is forced to confront old
emotions that she thought were buried in the past.

My first novel came along
during the wee hours of the night in 2011. I was laid off and laid up after a
car accident, and figured it was time to bring my goal to light. Four years
later, it is finally available to the masses. I took every frustration and
disappointment that life had handed me thus far and created some truly
relatable characters. Who wouldn’t be able to connect to a lost college
student? Aren’t we all lost to some extent at that time?

I’m a Jersey girl through and through who lives in
Pennsylvania. I’m a Westonian, a Blue Hen, and a Hawk with a flair for the
Spanish language. I’ve been bit by the traveling bug on numerous occasions, and
I won’t be surprised if my first child is born in the middle of a yoga
studio.
Oh yeah, I have a husband now.
